He was here on Sept 20th 2026. Not sure why, except it is a liberal college town, and you can smell a lot of MJ around most of the time. That outdoor pavilion only holds 3500 people.

After 3 years outside

Tractor sold for $3000

I guess you use what you've got. https://www.govdeals.com/en/asset/7/25004

And fix the heater??? or was that another truck?

I don't think any of us could go to that auction and not find something to bid on. I'm kind of glad it's too far for me to go😉

This has to be the most oddball thing there. 674 gas 4x4

Happy B Day!

Or something that has built a nest in there.

I did the one on my Farmall C 3 years ago and it still looks good. Sits outside all the time.

Farm call for a tractor rear flat with fluid here starts at $500. Then, add a tube and lost fluid if needed. Mount and balance at a tire shop, $40ea. Some still include it if you buy the tires there, but they are typically twice as expensive as buying on the internet. Having your own equipment gives the freedom to buy used tires, swap tires around, fix bad rims, buy cheap tires on the internet, dismount and patch a hole in a tire from the inside etc. All on my own time, whenever. Years ago I went to look at, and then bought a brush chipper about an hour south. It was late on a Saturday evening and got dark when I was looking at it. Tires looked pretty bad, and no spare, but I went for it. About 5 miles in a big flap of the tread came off, but the tire was still holding air. It lasted about 35 more miles before I saw smoke in the rearview. Fortunately, there was an empty store with a working pole light over asphalt parking right there. I unhooked the chipper and took the tire/wheel off, drove the 20 miles home, found another tire on something in the farmyard about the same size, swapped it onto the chipper rim with the tire machine, drove back, put it on and pulled the chipper home. Got back about 1 AM.

Had a Coats 20/20 for many years, but would only do 16" wheel. Upgraded to a 1 arm bandit style 50/30 a few years ago. I like diifferent things about both styles. I'm sure that 10/10 will do a lot of work for you. The one in the picture sold at an online auction in 23 for $620 https://www.schneiderauctioneers.com/auctions/25707/lot/7868-coats-10-10-tire-changer

A couple of Christmas' ago. The Den mother taking a nap while her charges are busy with toys. This is the room that is currently gutted to the studs for plaster removal, new insulation, drywall and floor refinishing. Hopefully be done in time for Thanksgiving.

I saw an ad on Craigslist that said "40 inch Phillips for sale". I thought that might be interesting to have until I opened the ad and saw it was a TV.

Wouldn't you have to fabricate a sliding bar for the bottle jack to sit on?

Why not just replace both axles from a more modern dually that still used leaf springs. Seems like it would be easier to adapt the spring perches than the spindles. Stake body trucks would be a good place to look.

Not a tractor, but I have a set of metal cleat wheels that fit a Farmall A. I have said for years I was going to buy another A, put these wheels on it, and take it to shows when I retire. Not sure if it will happen, but I haven't given up yet.

I had to look this one up https://www.oldcarsweekly.com/car-of-the-week-1929-reo-flying-cloud

Where do you source the slam latches from?

Finally tackled the intake manifold on my little auction Aveo5. Still ran, but with large vacuum leak, and I could see what a job it was going to be. Pretty straightforward, but 2.5 hours to get it apart. The one intake bolt over the starter was the worst of it.

Of course this isn't a new idea at all. From doodle bugs in the 20's, Jeeps and Scouts in the 40's and 50's and UNIMOG later, people have tried to marry trucks and farm equipment. https://www.farmjeep.com/lifts/monroe-lift/ https://www.thedrive.com/news/38001/the-4wd-international-harvester-trucktor-is-real-and-yes-you-can-buy-it https://autorestorer.com/articles/here_come_the_doodlebugs-240

And you would need a young neck to look over your shoulder trying to do it.
